It's pre-Friday!

Today was a pretty big Thursday, Ryker's first set of immunizations happened today :(

He did a lot better than I did, I almost started crying when he realized what was happening and he started crying. The nurse jammed that mean needle in so fast and so hard (ha, giggity), it looked horrible. But, I had him latch on right away, he calmed down immediately and he's been napping ever since. Vic and his friend Danny are planning on celebrating Danny's birthday tonight with some Colorado/Virginia Xbox action so should Ryker lose his mind from the shots tonight Daddy will be up to help out. 

Today's workout was awesome. As I went to leave the box I got pulled into running an extra mile by some of the girls and it was amazing, exactly the kind of motivation I love about CrossFit Rife. 

Thursday's Workout

70 hand release pushups 

At every break in the pushups (any rest) run 100 meters with a 25 lb. sand bag

I finished in 8:38. Push ups are so not my thing, so they slowed me down a bit. We ran the extra mile afterwards at a pretty good pace, it did a great job of reminding me that I have a lot of training ground to cover to get back to the runner I used to be!

*Update: As I was writing this Ryker woke from his nap and lost his F-ing mind so I had to finish this post friday morning. The poor thing has a bruise the size of a golf ball on each leg and they're super tender. The good news is that after an hour of singing to him in the bath, a shower and cuddling on the bed we finally coaxed some baby Tylenol into him and he relaxed enough to sleep like any normal night! His little wails had me ready to cry again but when he finally calmed down and just stared at me, right in the eyes while I told him over and over that I'd always be there to help make everything alright. I love that little stinker so much!! 

Here he is as Daddy's little football, we love the onesie from Nordstrom. Sorry you can't see more of it...

Easy fast food dinner this week: Whole Foods Kebabs thrown on the grill and paired with a salad!

Ryker's new lumberjack onesie, I can't wait for it to fit him! Thanks Kathleen!

Another great paleo dinner: Giant flank steak marinated in coconut aminos and honey. Can't lie, we used un-paleo soy instead of aminos...woops! When the challenge rolls around I'll have to follow recipes more strictly.

Served up with cabbage sautéed with carrots, ginger and green onions in sesame oil.
